The house eventually was left to the Sue Ryder foundation by the last owner/resident Mrs Annie Lang.

Sue Ryder opened up a care centre in Binny House in 1987 and since then many parts of the estate have been sold to the Oatridge Agricultural College, including the site of the golf course.

In February 2002 the Sue Ryder care centre was closed and is now owned by the Huntercombe Hospital.

The Binny Stone Quarries operated from 1790 until 1914 and was widely used in the construction of Edinburgh’s New Town.

In 1997 a temporary quarry was opened at Binny to extract 75 cubic metres of stone for the repair of the Scott Monument.
